Currently, the Renegades (8-1, 6-0) are ranked fourth in the Commission on Athletic Southern California Regional poll and are in first place in the Western State Conference North Division.
The 'Gades will need a win against Hancock to secure a home playoff berth in the Golden Empire Bowl, at Memorial Stadium on Nov. 18.
As usual, getting the win won't be easy for the 'Gades, as the Hancock Bulldogs (7-2, 4-1) will present a tough challenge, especially on their home field.
"We will have our hands full against Allan Hancock," Jeff Chudy, BC head coach, said. "They are No. 1 in the conference offensively, they run the ball well. We will need a good week of practice and a strong defensive effort on Saturday to beat them. They need a win just like we do."
Playing on the opposition's field certainly hasn't been a problem for BC this season, as the impressive road warriors have won all but one game on the road that being a 48-21 loss to highly ranked Saddleback College on Sept 9.
Saddleback, not Moorpark College, is the No. 1 ranked team in the Southern California region according to the Commission on Athletic poll. Moorpark was misquoted as the No. 1 team in the state and nation in the Oct. 23 edition of the Renegade Rip.
Even though the 'Gades started slow in the Nov. 4 contest against the Pirates of Ventura, managing a lowly 7-0 halftime lead, they weren't going to be denied point production in the second half, as they pounded the Pirates in every phase of the game and notched a 44-13 victory in the record books.
Running back J.R. Rogers scored midway through the second quarter on a 7-yard run and kicker Will Johnson added the extra point for the seven point edge at the half.
It was a much different story in the second half as both teams combined for 50 points, the 'Gades scoring 23 in the third quarter and 14 in the fourth.
Ventura lit up the home side of the scoreboard early in the third quarter as the Pirates scored on a 20-yard pass from quarterback Andre Toilolu to wide receiver Andre Ingram, the extra point was good by kicker Mack Pennington and the game was all tied up at seven a piece.
